Team:JNFLS/Education
1.Education for publicity of our project and synthetic biology:
At the beginning of this term, we held the club activities of the Biochemical Society to preach the iGEM competition to the tenth grade students of Jinan Foreign Language School. Nearly 30 students who are interested in biology participated in our activities. We first introduced in detail the main content of the iGEM, the format of the competition, the gold content of the competition and the research topics in previous years done by other teams. Then we introduced our own project. We introduced from three aspects, namely experimental principles, experimental procedures, and the improvement of the properties of bacterial cellulose after the final production, to help students understand bacterial cellulose in detail. Also, we introduced the process of designing our own website and all the human practice we have done. Finally, we talked to them about the gains of participating in the iGEM competition, for example, we gained a wealth of experimental experience, improved our communication skills, learned a lot of biology and design knowledge, got the chance to exchange experience with seniors from world-renowned schools, improved mathematics and so on.
Through our preaching, many students have developed a keen interest in the iGEM competition. After the preaching, some of them discussed the competition-related matters with us. The iGEM competition is currently well-known in our school. Many students expressed their desire to participate in the competition next year.
2.Education for publicity of our project and synthetic biology:
For publicity our project and synthetic biology, our team collaborated with JNFLS. We planned to make some comics to explain the related knowledge lively, but we did not finish this work because of the limitation of time. However, we have written some playwriting, which are the bases for comics drawing.
Some completed comics and playwriting are showed as follows:
